Hawthorne's Diffidence.

Miss Peabody, who probably knew Hawthorne longer and more intimate- ! ly than any person now living, spoke ! of his mingled aversion to society and i interest in it. When he lived in Salem he used to go with his wife to the door of a friend’s house, then leave her, but await her return with .eager curiosity, ami sit up halt the night to hear the story of the evening. Mr. Aleott told some amusing stories of what he called Hawthorne’s diffidence. He lived next to him for three years, but lie never naw him in the street, and during that time Hawthorne was In Mr. Aieott's house but twice, anil then by stratagem. There wen* some young women, guests of Mr. Aleott, who one <iav iM-rsuadeil Hawthorne to step into the wtudy. ; But after a litth-, while beating his I liars all the time, lie said, sudiienly, “The stove is too hot,” ami vantaheii. I Once more the sirens took him in their j net, but when thevliad landed him he sai<l, “The clock ticks so loud I must go,” and again he disappeanwl. But Miss Pealsidy objected to Mr. Aieott’s won! difthfence as applied to Hawthorne. He had, she said, gn'at sensibility, and lie hail not the kind of intercourse with society which gives self-possession. But lie liked to s** |Ms»ple. He was immensely sociable, anil lie rvpn»ai-hed his wife when she kept persons away. Yet we should hardly coil him “aoeiable” in the usual sense of the wonl. iss Peabody says that in Sympathizing society be felt no shyness. But in Mr. Emerson’s library, among a circle of neighlsirs and friends, we have seen him standi ing by the winter afternoon with a I remote and solitary air, xs if he were | longing for the wings of a dove.

This didpositiou of seclusion is shown by s!iss Peabody to have been lieredftary. Hawthorne’s sister, sljie says, shut herself up when she was eighteen years old, and saw si'iircely nny-one u»r twenty years; and Miss Pealssly’sdescription of llawtliornc’s mother recalls Miss Haversham, in Dii'ken’s “tlreat Ex|ieetations.” lliat the mother was, as Miss I‘ealssly, says, a person of very fine common sense, with a strung, dear mind, would not Is* inferred from the fad that after her husItand’s death, she seduilts! herself il Iter own room, amkilrcssisl alt<»gether in. white—a custom which broke up every family arrangement. Hawthorne did not renieinlier sitting at table with his mother until after lie was married, when she herself prop»wi>d that her grand-dauglitiT should retueiiilier her first Thanksgiving din-net-as eaten with her grand-mother. But Hawthorne laugiied when his wife said that she wouldmake his mother laugh at table. All this Seems to indicate a rather g. im domestic interior; ami we rememlier hearing Hawthorne say that in the early days, after leaving college, when lie was at home in Salem, the members of the family livi-d much by themsdves. For his )»art, he the day in his' room, writing stories, which he subsequently burned, and he went out to walk after nightfall, this kind of life with the tem|»erament to which it was largely due, readily explains the furtive way, in the hotel and dn the vessel, in which alone he enjoyed society afterward. — Harjter.

The Retribution of a Hiss.

In the |M»pular magazine Thue, edited by Mr. Eiimuml Yates, Mr. Dutton Took tells an amusing story of a man who hissed the representations of Weber’s “Iler Freisi-huetz” in Paris. He was a grocer’s shopman, and he was promptly ejected by some medidal students, one pf whom afterwards discovered the grocer’s'man in a hospital. The man who biased Welierdied, ami his Immlv was given out for dissection. Hector Berliez, fifteen years later, revived the opera, and in order to produce greater effect nronoseil to liaVe a real skeleton in the Wolf’s Glen scene. By chance he met the student who had turned out the grocer’s slmmiian for hissing “Der rreischuetz.” After tliat unfortunate man had l<een dissecttsl his skeleton tvas preserved. , “He’s all right,” said life student. “He fills a case in my I'-onsulting-rooni, hung on wires and beautifullyput together. <— There’s not a bone missing, not even one of his phalang.es Only the skull is a little damaged.” .. “I want you to lend him to me. Then* is a part he can play to perfection at the ojiera.” “I don’t understand.” “You will shortly.” "f’n secret de. comedic! Well, I’ll semi you the skeleton.” In a liox, corded' and locked, the poor chopman’s' l»one« reached the ojiera-house. “You see this young mail?” said Berlioz to the property-master. “He is alsHit to make his first api>earance upon the stage. His costume will >be very simjde. You will provide him with an iron rod, to lie secured to his •bark, so that he may bear himself as spftty as M. Pepita when he is about to pirouette. Afterwards you will jpiacea torch in his right hand.” “I understand, sir.” “You will make' a hole in the grocer’s skull. Don’t lie afraid; nothing will come out—it is as empty now as ever it was. This is theskull Caspar’s sw*h-<l will pjeree in the incantation frscene. He will hold it aloft, ami the blue fire will tizz all round it.” “I understand, sir.” Thus at every representation of “Der Freischuetz” upon the stage ‘of the .Grand Opera, at the moment of Zamiel’s terrible cry, “Me voila!’* the tempest raged, the lightnings flashed, a tree was riven by a thunderbolt, all in strict accordance with the direction of the composer, and there appeared the skeleton of the man wlio had hissed Weber’s music in that very scene and waving weirdly in the air a flamed torch!

A Soldier who Found $130,000.

Ezelot, the soldier fvho found the £26,000 which M. Pages lost in the Northern railway station in Paris, has communicated to the Courier de I’Aisne the particulars attend*ant on his good fortune. They are very interesting, and show how some men are lorn to fortune, some achieve fortune, and some have fortune thfa'st upon them. Ezelot was walking through the railroad station with two comrades, when .they noticed on the floor a packet wrapped in a newspaper. They kicked it along liefore them for some distance, and when Exelot was getting into the train, going home on short leave, one of his comrades, picking up the packet, thrust it into the canvas forage bag slung at his side, Ezelot going on his way without having perceived the little pleasantry. Arrived at Neuilly, where his parents live, his mother, emptying the forage bag, discovered the bundle, and thinking it was a packet of old newspapers, put it on the table in the kitchen. There it remained for four or five days, till a married sister, calling in and seeing the packet; was moved by an unwonted curiosity. Opening it, she discovered documents representing, the £26.000, the loss of which M. Pages had advertised throughout Europe. The European papers are not, however, read at Neuilly, where the- Courier de VAiene doubtless has still its own.way. The soldier and his parents not knowing what else to do, followed the provincial Frenchman's instinct, and had recourse to the Maire. That functionary communieating with , Paris, speedily brought M. Pages, who, gratefully paying the promised reward of £I,OOO. went off with his oddily recovered treasure. It would be an interesting supplement to the narrative if we could have record of the feelings of

the soldier who thrust the pockets Upon Ezelot, when he heard the-sequel to the little joke.— London News.

Hew He Fooled The Customs Officers.

Vlvier, the famous horn-player, Is one of tne most renowned practical Jokers In Europe. His favorite objects ofvengence are custom officials, for whose -delectlon lie provided two trunks—a small one of leather and a large one of stout timber. “What does this chest contdW, sir?” “Nothing dutiable, sir,” wss the meek reply; “my collection of bootstrap**—the work of a lifetime.” “Boot-straps—pooh!” says the official, growing red in the face; “come; sir, the keys, If you please.” “Boot-straps, sir, I assure you. They are packed with great care, aiid an examination would disarrange tliein seriously.” " “Come, sir, no jesting.” Vivier reluctantly hands over the keys, ami the official opens the chest, which lias a spring bottom and lias lieen packed with bootstraps, apparently by hydraulic pressure, as the lioot-straiw boll over like yeast. Thereupon the traveler takes Heaven to witness that his wonl lias been doubted ami his precious collection disarrange*!, ami frunti*"ally urges the officer to repack tbe trunk l»efi>re the train moves out. After this exi>erience tbe official usually lets the traveler alone; but, if he should demand the contents of the mall leathern valise, and insists on seeing for himself that there is nothing dutiable in it, Vivier hands him the keys with the tragic remark: “There! Open it! But it is at your own risk mind.” “What does it contain?” “Well, since you press me —rattlesnakes!” How many are there? I will take your wonl for It,” says the flabbergasted official, sis'kinga way of escape without sutleringtotal humiliation in the eyes of the the hystamlers. “Five.” “Ha! then it is not necessary to examine the package. Rattlesnakes, when importc I in quantities of less than six,are free.”

“Happy Man” and “Lucky Dog.”

Many anecdotes which are only legendary, tohlof distinguished persons, an* nevertheless characteristic. Persims n*w living who knew Lafayette, ajid remember li is suavity ami conversational wit, treasure up little scraps of his talk, ami love to repeat them. There was a story told aliout him durin ; his visit to Boston, writes Josia'i Quincy in the lml*‘|H‘mleut, whicti I am tempted to re|»eat, though 1 do not believe it was true. It was probably one of those a|»oervphal mieedotes which give the |s>pular impressions Hl»out public characters iu a |>ointed way. Ou l>eing presented to some oi»| soldiers, the general was heard to ask the leader of the group if he were married. l T |s»n receiving an answer in the affirmative, Lafayette responded, with most tender emphasis, “Ah! happy man!” To the next person who was next presented the same question was nut; but here the reply was, “No, sir; I am a liachelor-” “Oh! you lucky dog!” whispered Lafayette, witli a roguish twinkle of his eye. These words were overheard by a bystander and he Hiarged witli insincerity in bestowing similar congratulations under such widely different circumstances. “Is it possible, ’* said the general, turning promptly upon-his critic, “that you value the prerogative of humanity so little as not to know that the felicity of a happy man is a thousand times bettier than that of a lucky dog!” Certain traits of Lafayette—his way of saying -pleasant things to those he met ami his graceful readiness of reply—arf so happily combinedin the story that it ih-serves to lie true, and it may have had some foundation in fact.

What He Did at Night.

“Tell me how a young inair spends his evenings ahd I will tell you how lie will s|M‘U(l his life.” It is a wise saying, for horn’s of a young man are his dangerous hours, and make or mar his character for life. Towards the close of the last century, a boy was apprentice*! to a tobacconist in New Y’ork City. He did not know how to read, write or cipher. Neither his occupation nor his associations favored his purpose: but he was determined to learn wliat some one has wittily called the three it’s—resiling, ’riting, ’rithiuetic. After working twelve hours, he spent his evenings, not, as his fellowapprentices did, in amusements, but in studying the spelling-liook aim the arithmetic, and in copying tetters and syllables and words. In a year or two, he became proficient in these elements of an education. Then he l>egan the study of French. When lie could read in that language, he took up German. His father was a Frenchman, and his mother a German,a fact which doubtless, explains why he studied these two languages. In three or four years he found himself able to read English, French and German, but without books, and with no money to bui' them. He had, however, two brothers who were also tobaccopiste. He worked for them at night, after working all day for his own “boss.” For the small wages they paid him, he saved up enough money to buy a few books. Then he gave up night work and read his new books. When he had mastered them, he resumed his work in his brother’s shop, and liought more books. When lie became Jacob Lorillard, the millioihiaire, these liooks occupied the place of honor in Jiis library. For they were the memorials of his early ambition and industry.— Youth's Comjtanion.

Rainfall Next Summer.

The eflect a winter which firings heavy snowfall in the Rocky mountains is always followed by a summer that brings an abundance of rain to the Missouri Valley. This doesn’t rest upon guess work, like the predictions of almanac-makers, nor upon the supposed influence of certain planets, like the forecasts of Tice and Vennor, but is based upon the simple scientific proposition, which the experience of many years has proved to be correct that the melting of snow’ in the Rocky mountains constitutes the principal souhce of the rainfall iij all this portion of the continent. The snowjnelting hr tlie mountains rises In the form of vapor, and in this form is born eastword until it comes in contact with a warmer current, when it is precipitated in the form of rain. Observations taken at this point for twenty consecutive years show’ that this rule has never failed—a winter of heavy snowfall in the mountains is followed by an abundant rainfall in this vicinity the next summer, and when there is but little snow *in the mountains there is but little rain here the following summer. All accounts agree that the fall of snow in the niohntains this winter is heavy, and therefore, according to the rule, we may look for an abundant rainfall next summer.— Leavenwort Speaking of our great wheat crops, the American Miller remarks that few ix-ople ir our own country realize how inexhaustible our resources are for wheat growing. The total area of lands available for wheat culture in the United States is not less than 470, * 000,000 acres. Our entire wheat crop of the past year would not supply seed enough to sow so vast an area of wheat land. •» ,

Something Missing.

On a train going up the river yesterday morning was a young man in farmer’s drees, who had his overcoat pockets full of purchases. After Inspecting two or three parcels he took the wraps oft of a twenty-flve-cent thermometer and examined the instrument with the closest interest. He looked at the face, then at the back, and tlie longer he looked the more puzzled he seemed. A gentleman who had been observing him Anally remarked: “Been buying a thermometer, I see?” “Yes: I liought her for a neighbor of ours.” “What’j* the temperature In this ear just now ?•” The young man took a long squint at the thermometer, turned it over two or three times, and then answered: “It’s alout middling, I guess.” Gothing further was said for ten minutes, and the gentleman was busy with his ]>aper, when the other touched his arm and said: “Hay, are you used to thermometers?” ‘ 3' “Yes; slightly.” “Well, I’m a little green, and I’m willing to own up. Seems to me there’s something wrong about this ’ere.” “I guess not; it’s'a cheap instrument, but it seems to lie all right.” “Well, it may be; but I had made up my mind there wah something missing. I can't find any keyhole, and if it ever Iqnl any hands on the face they'er gone now for sure,” It took alioat live minutee to enlighten him and when he realized “how she worked,” he put it in his pocket with the remarks: “I’ in going home and tell the old man none of us know enough to tell when we get chillblains!’ —IFiriZf St. Daily News.

What Little Artie Did.

Little Artie and his brothers. Three of them, and dear little fellows they were, all brave and self-reliant, ami brought up by their parents in the right way. As these children llve<l some distance from town, it was often found necessary to leave them at home when father and mother attended meeting: esjMH'ially was this the case iu cola weather. Through the summer months, the children were often taken along, to their great delight. And us their parents were Methodists of a good old fashioned kin*!, the boys were in the habit of hearing—at such times —the hearty “Amen.” break forth from their father’s lips when the sermon was particularly enjoyable. » One cold Sabbath day these children were left at home, with many cautions to lie careful; yet hardly had the parents left ere the wood-\Vork near the stovepipe was discovered to lie on tire, ami out of the children’s reach; hut, with wonderful activity and energy, the eldest climlied up on a table, ami put out the flames. When tin- father and mother returned, they shuddered to see the danger to which their dear ones had been I‘xposed, and with thankful hearts praise*) them for their courage. “How did you manage, Tommy, to reai'h the lire?” asked the father. “Why” said Tommy, “I , pushed the table up to the wall, and got upon that.” . * - “Ami did you help brother, Jimmy?” to th** next./ “Y’es sir; I brought him a pail of water and handed him thte dipper.” “And what did you do?” said the .proud father ti» his p*'t, the youngest *U' the group. ‘•Well, papa,” said Artie, “you see I was too small to help put out the tire, and so I just stood by ami holler’d “Amen.’ "—Kind Words.

Milton the Great Poet.

John Milton was a blue-eyed, yel-low-haired Saxon.hoy, the type of the English race. He was somewhat short, stout, and' healthy; his eyes were bright and sparkling in his youth, before he Imk'HliA* blind. But he inherited weakness of sight from his mother. He was born 1609, In a pleasant house on Bread street, Ix>ndon, almost under the shadow of Bow Bells. It was back in a court. His father who had made a fortune, as a scrivener, was fond of music, hooks, and literature, and his son was carefully educated at Ht. Paul’s School. Milton relates that he frequently studied In the house in Brean street until midnight, and his head ached and his sight, grew dim with these late vigils. He was then al*out twelve years old. He was one of the liest scholars at Ht. Paul’s Hchool, ami loved study as most boys like play. He was eager tx> know h*»\v men lived and acted in Greece ami Rome, what they thought of, ami what they had discovered. He studied the rise ami the fall of empires and republics, ami lieeanie a republican in the midst of kings and princes. He was always fond of poetry, and soon h*>gan to write nne verses. One of his earliest pieces is his “Ode on the Nativity.”— Harper's Youny People.

Combe and the Liars.

While George (‘onibc was preparing his work on moral philosophy he lost no opportunity study human nature in its intmlfold phases. It is related of him that on one occasion he had gathered three notorious liars into company for the punxise of seeing how they would take it, and what answer they would give if he should request them to tel) each one a lie for his l*enefit. He told them frankly that he was writing a work on human nature ami thespringof human action, ami he was curious to see how big a lie a man could tell when he tried. “Now look you,” said he: “to the man of you who shall tell me the greatest, tin* most barefaced lie, I will give a half-i'rown.” Said the first man: “Yer honor, I can’t do it. I never told a lie in my lify,” Said the second: ’ “Riess you soul, sir! I don’t know no more how to tell a lie than a nursin’ infant!” While the third capped the climax thus: “Well, seein’ as how’tmy two companions have told yer honor only the solemn truth, I don’t: see as I’ve got anything to do, only to hold my tongue.” Combe awarded the prize to the last sjieaker.— New York Leader.

A Long Lost Mother Found.

For five years “Grandma” Hamilton had lived at the Home for the Friendless—blind and feeble and wanting to die. She was too good to go to the poor-house and had no money to go to the Old Ladies’ Home; so the management gave her a room and the fairies or the other good angels brought the old lady a comfortable rocking chair and other articles of furniture, and there she sat rocking and knitting life to its close. One day a lady, in sealskins and jewels, rang the bell and asked: “Is Mrs. Hamilton in?” No, they said. There was no Mrs. Hamilton there. The lady could not mean Grandma Hamilton? In all the five years gone noliody had called for her! But, yes; the richly dressed lady would like to see “Grandma” and while they went for her sat and soblied on tlie sofa. When they led the old lady in, the lady in sealskins and jew els buret into tears, and throwing her arms arpund her neck, sobl*ed out: “Mother, mother, don’t you know Louisa?” ' “Oh, no,” said the old lady, peering

with her blind Jeyes and shaking her head, “my daughters, Louisa and Lizzie, are both dead, and you cannot be L >uisa.” “But, indeed, I am; and Lizzie is living, too, and for a year I've been looking for you everywhere, and now I’ve found you,”—and while they wept on each other’s necks, Mrs. Grant, the superintendent, and Miss Bowman, the matron, withdrew and left them to talk it over. . This was only a short time ago, and next day the lady came in a carriage again, and “Grandma” having taken the night to “get berthings together,” bade a good-by to the Home and went away all wrapped in fur-lined robes, tn wait in ease and happiness till death comes to bid her ceas her rocking and her knitting. And the explanation of all is that fifteen years ago Louisa married and went to California; Lizzie staid in Ohio, and “Grandma,” with a little competence; came to Chicago. After a while, by one of those inexplicable combinations of mistakes that sometimes obtain in this mysterious world, they all caine to believe each other dead, and "Grandma,” having lived out her competence, drifted to the Home for the Friendless. Louisa’s husband grew rich in California, and hist summer there came to her the faintest whisper that "Mother” was not dead. She started to search for her, and, after going all through Ohio and Michigan where they bad lived—and where, by the way, she found Lizzie still living—she at length found a family in Englewood (a suburb of this city) who had seen "Grandma” Hamilton at the Home for the Friendless, and thus she'found her mother. —Chicago Journal, Feb. 1.

Cross Looks.

“What are you doing, dear Esther and Ruth, close to the river’s brink?” “It is mamma’s birthday,” said Esther. "I have come with my basket to gather wnter-liilies.” “So have I,” said Rti’h. “I will climb the high rock and reach them with my arm.” “Nonsense, Ruth! The rock is too steep, and your arm is too short for such a task. You will fall over. Run back, darling, and gel some wild flowers from under the trees; mamma will like them.” “No, no!” said Ruth, who wished her own way. She shook her head and looked down into the water with a frowm “What cross' little girl is that?” she cried. "Why Ruth, it is your own shadow.” Then Ruth got up and ran away. "I won’t have such a cross shadow,” she said. ' - “Then you must not feel cross, iny darling. Your soul will be sure to east a shadow on your face,—Sunbeam.

Worcester (Mass) Spy. Nothing on Earth so Good.

Certainly a strong opinion, said one of our reporters to whom the following was detailed by Mr. Henry Kaschop, with Mr. Geo. E. Miller, 418 Main street, this city: I suffered so badly with rheumatism In my leg last winter that I was unable to attend to my work, being completely helpless. I heard of St. Jacobs Oil and bought a bottle, after which I felt greatly relieved. With the use of the second bottle I was completely cured. In my estimation there is nothing on earth so good for rheumatism as St. Jacobs Oil. It acts like a charm. It is a fact not generally noted that the snow, even not when exposed to the sun, and with the mercury continuously far below, the melting point, gradually diminishes in volume. It evaporates, just as the water in wet clothing, if hung out in the cold, first turns into ice, and then passes into the air, leaving the clothing limp and dry. <

To All Our Friends.

Having had numberless inquiries for advertising cards from ladies in all parts of the country who are interested in the prevailing fashion of making "Card Collections,” we are having printed for them a set of seven beautiful cards .each in six colors and on a gold background, in the very highest degree of art, illustrating Bhakspeare’s "Seven Ages of Man.’’ We have spared no expense in these cards—they are shnply little artgems. Out only aim has been to publish the finest cards yet shown Applications for them have come in so rapidly that nearly the whole edition is engaged before the receipt , by us of the cards from the artist j We have therefore been obliged to adopt the following plan for the distribution of the remainder: No more of tlie gilt Shakspeare cards, seven in the series, will be sent excepting upon the receipt of a statement from a. grocer that the person applying for the cards lias bought of him on that day at least seven' bars of Dobbius r Electric Soap, with price paid for same. All applying in this manner will receive the full set of seven cards gratis by mail. This will insure us that our friends and natrons get their share of these beautiful designs, although it in no manner repays us for the coat of the cards. Your grocer has the soap or will get it, and the purchase by you of seven bars of it at one time will secure for you gratis seven really beautiful cards. The soap improves with age, and is an article of necessity in your house every week. Therefore you are not asked to buy a useless article, but one that you must have anyway. Please send us your applications at once, and tell your lady friends making “Card Collections,” to do the same. Grocers do not have the cards to deliver. Buy the soap of them, send us their bill, and we will mail you the cards free. Yours respectfully. I. L. Cragin & Co., 116 South 4th Street, Philadelphia, Pa. ’ P.
